Patch that enables home button support in XDAndroid

Update:
For now at least, the best patch to use to enable home button support is the one made by F22 on XDA that maps End to Home.
For more info see this post:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...60#post2007660

Old Info:

This is an alternative kernel and rootfs branch from the 11/3 kernel and rootfs that enables the power button to register in Android as the home button.

Using the stock version, even if the end button is mapped to act as home in the Spare Parts program, it will still not work for long press (which in Android brings up a recently used program list for multitasking convenience) and for programs that use the home button to do stuff (such as alternative launchers like Launcher Pro and ADWLauncher).

It is intended that whenever significant progress is made to the kernel/rootfs, that an updated version of this patch will be released.

Last update: 11/9 Available attached to this post
Changes:
Fixed wifi

Instructions for installing:
The patch includes 3 files.
Rename zImage-XYZ to simply 'zImage' and copy it over your old zImage in andboot.
Rename rootfs-XYZ to just 'rootfs.img' and copy it to your andboot folder over your old rootfs.img.
Copy modules-XYZ as is to your andboot folder, and you can delete your old modules file that was already there. Do not rename this file!
